Welcome to Pilchuck Glass School’s Auction, Gala, and Celebration of Glass
Pilchuck Glass School fosters and educates a diverse worldwide community that explores the creative use of glass in art and design.
The school is located 50 miles north of Seattle, Washington in the forested foothills of the Cascade Range overlooking Puget Sound. Each summer and fall, Pilchuck offers a broad spectrum of courses in the use of glass as an expressive material, along with annual residencies for emerging and established artists. Pilchuck’s programs, residencies, and events emphasize experimentation, investigation, teamwork, and personal growth.
Students and instructors from all over the world and across the United States come to Pilchuck. Since its founding in 1971 by Dale Chihuly, Anne Gould Hauberg (1917–2016), and John H. Hauberg (1916–2002), Pilchuck has been a creative retreat where artists teach artists in a supportive environment.
Pilchuck is open to applications from novice, aspiring, and professional artists with the desire and commitment to learn in any of the one- to three-week courses offered from May to September. The school also invites renowned artists who typically work in media other than glass to expand their art through collaboration and individual research by working with accomplished glassmakers. Fall and spring residencies provide emerging and established artists working in glass the time and space to develop new processes or create fresh bodies of work through individual and collaborative projects.
Pilchuck’s outreach and special events connect our extended community of artists and supporters. Events take place on campus, in Seattle, and throughout the United States and abroad, showcasing the breadth and depth of contemporary art created with glass.

Welcome, from your hosts
Dear Friends,
On behalf of the Pilchuck staff, Trustees, and community of artists, welcome to our 46th Annual Auction and Gala, Pilchuck: Stardust Dreams
Pilchuck Glass School is where an international community of artists come together to share ideas, explore new techniques, and push themselves and one another to expand the ideas and boundaries of glass. That camaraderie and spirit of experimentation has been at the heart of our organization since our founding in 1971. That same spirit comes together every year in this room as well, when our community gathers to celebrate the artists, instructors, supporters, and more to celebrate this organization that we all love.
This year, the theme of our auction highlights some of the many things that make Pilchuck so special. Truly, Pilchuck is where many artists come to make their dreams come true; where they meet artists who inspire them, where they come to expand their creativity, and where they make connections that last a lifetime. And when you visit our idyllic campus, you experience where these dreams have been fulfilled while being blanketed by the spectacular canopy of a brilliant, starry sky. That sky unites our international community from around the globe and where we all gaze to consider our dreams.
At Pilchuck, nothing inspires us more than to make dreams come true. Our mission is to foster and educate a diverse worldwide community that explores the creative use of glass in art and design. Through this work, we have expanded scholarships, artist awards, increased outreach opportunities, removed application fees, and for the fifth year in a row we have increased our commission to donating artists.
Tonight, when you purchase a work of art, or when you raise your paddle to Fund the Future, you are directly supporting artists and ensuring our campus will be here for generations to come. Your support this evening – 100% of it – goes to support the mission of Pilchuck Glass School, which includes financial aid, program expenses, materials, honoraria, and maintenance of our historic campus.
Whether you have been with us since the beginning or tonight is your first auction, we thank you for supporting Pilchuck Glass School. The generosity of this community is essential to our organization. Tonight is our biggest fundraiser of the year, and we appreciate you joining us to help make this evening a tremendous success. Please, bid generously, bid often, and bid to help us make more dreams come true at Pilchuck!
We are eternally grateful for the honor of serving Pilchuck Glass School and, once again, we welcome you to Pilchuck: Stardust Dreams!

Lino Tagliapietra was born in 1934 in Murano, Italy, and became an apprentice glassblower at age 11. Even at a young age, Lino exhibited an immense dexterity for glass and was appointed the title of “Maestro” when he was just 21. In 1979, Lino visited Seattle for the first time and introduced students at Pilchuck Glass School to the traditions of Venetian glassblowing. This cross-cultural collaboration helped shape the identity of American glassblowing and offered Lino an opportunity to expand his horizons internationally. Now in his eighties, with over 70 years of experience, the Maestro splits his time between Murano and Seattle. He continues to exercise his prodigious technical skill and creative experimentation, producing works that both inspire and amaze. LINOTAGLIAPIETRA.COM

Time and again, his visionary journey into the glass melting point has posed tough challenges. Early on, he left elegantly cut crystal glass behind, seeking a rawer reality with his sand castings. His vessels, measuring from a few decimeters in length to several meters, have literally brought glass art into spaces where no one had previously set foot.

Born in 1982, Raven Skyriver (Tlingit) was raised in the San Juan Islands. When he was 16, Raven was introduced to glass by his family friend and mentor, Lark Dalton. Exploring every opportunity to work in glass led to Raven being invited to work with Karen Willenbrink-Johnsen for the William Morris team in 2003. This was his introduction to sculptural glass, and where building a vocabulary for narrative in his work began. In 2018, Raven returned to the island where he was born and built a home studio where he creates art with his wife, Kelly O’Dell. This piece depicts the otherworldly form of the narwhal that lives in the Arctic and hunts its prey by swimming through the fissures in pack ice. The narwhal is a beautiful example of the wild variation in the natural world.

In an effort to navigate fear and stigma and create a comfortability around sex and sexuality, Megan Stelljes uses food stuffs as a vehicle for narrative.

Using this imagery, coupled with bright colors and playful arrangements, her work encourages this approachability and creates pathways to safer spaces and perhaps ellicts a little joy.

Glossary of Terms
BITS Pieces of molten glass snipped off a blowpipe or punty and applied hot to a glass form.
BOROSILICATE A type of glass containing boron oxide that is highly resistant to thermal shocks. Commonly used in flameworking.
CANE Thin rods of glass, usually with a twisted pattern in multiple colors used to add pattern to blown glass.
DICHROIC Manufactured glass that is one color when seen by reflected light and another color when light shines through it. The effect can be achieved by applying a dichroic coating to glass that otherwise would not have this property.
ELECTROPLATE The process of adhering metal to glass by dipping the glass into an electrically charged solution.
ETCH To create a design by cutting away the surface of finished glass with a tool or by treating it with acid.
FLAMEWORKING OR LAMPWORKING The process of using a gas-fueled torch or lamp to heat glass rods for sculpting, blowing, and beadmaking.
FUSE To melt together two or more pieces of glass in a kiln.
GRAAL A glassblowing technique wherein a thick “blank” or core form is blown, usually with two or more layers of color. The blank is then engraved, bringing out the underlying color, much as is done with a cameo. The engraved blank is subsequently reheated and blown to its full shape.
HOT CAST To ladle hot glass from a furnace into a mold made of sand, steel, or plaster.
INCALMO A glassblowing process that joins two or more bubbles of hot glass
together, resulting in defined bands of color in a vessel or object.
INSCISO A technique for patterning the surface of glass by creating deep incisions, usually with hand-engraving tools.
KILN A high-temperature electric oven used for casting, fusing, and slumping glass.
KILN-CAST The use of a mold, usually plaster, filled with crushed glass, which is melted in a kiln to produce a solid glass form.
LAMINATE To use heat or glue to join pieces of glass.
LAMPWORKING See flameworking.
LOST WAX A method of casting whereby a wax or wax-coated model is embedded in clay and then baked so that the wax melts and is “lost,” leaving a mold into which hot glass is poured. The mold must be broken in order to retrieve the cast object.
MOLDBLOWN Glass formed into a shape by being blown into a mold, typically made of wood, metal, or plaster.
MURRINE Patterned glass cane cut into sections in order to form small disks that are used in decorating glass or constructing glass forms.
OVERLAY A thin layer of clear or colored glass on the outside of a piece.
OFF-HAND Formed freehand on the end of a punty or blowpipe. No mold is used.
PÂTE DE VERRE From French, meaning “glass paste.” The paste is made from crushed glass and enamel paint. It is applied to the surface of a mold and fired in a kiln at high temperature.
ROLL-UP In this process, multiple pieces of flat glass are fused into a tile.
The tile is reheated, rolled up onto a gather, and then blown into a threedimensional object.
SANDBLAST To blow or blast sand onto a piece, etching away layers of glass. Masking is used to create patterns.
SANDCAST To ladle hot glass into a formed mold made of specialized sand.
SCAVO Corrosive chemical material applied to the surface of hot glass that gives the final piece a matte finish.
SCRAFFITTO The technique of adding color to the surface of glass and then scratching it away, causing a reverse image to appear.
SHARD A small fragment of glass. Colored shards may be melted into a piece for decoration.
SLUMP To heat a sheet of glass in a kiln until it is soft enough to assume the shape of a mold without becoming molten.
SMALTI A soft, intensely colored Venetian glass that is chipped into squares for use in creating traditional mosaics.
THREADS Thin strands of glass, usually colored, that may be added to the glass in a variety of ways for different effects.
VITREOGRAPHY The process of creating a print from a glass plate.
WRAP A strand of glass, typically but not always of a contrasting color, applied hot to a vessel.
ZANFIRICO A multi-colored cane made by gathering a bundle of rods of different colors, and heating it until it is soft. The bundle is attached to two pontils and elongated by drawing. At the same time, the bundle is twisted to produce a spiral pattern. Zanfirico is a synonym for vetro a retorti.
